Resident Evil 6 Announced

Capcom officially announces Resident Evil 6, saying the next installment in the survival/horror series will hit consoles on November 20, and Windows PCs at some point after that. Capcom-Unity has a Resident Evil 6 reveal trailer, and here's word on the game, which will star Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield:

Resident Evil 6 portrays a world where an escalation in bioterrorist attacks across the globe has led to widespread fear among the population. In an attempt to quell the panic and curb the bioterrorist activity the President of the United States has decided to speak to the nation but not before the very location of the address itself comes under attack. With the President's safety compromised the situation for the rest of the world seems hopeless.

In a first for the franchise, Resident Evil 6 sees series favourites Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield come together to face this unprecedented threat. They will be joined by new characters, each with their own unique perspective and involvement in this relentless dramatic horror experience enacted on a global scale.

Seems like the 3ds game is the way to go for a classic Resi experience.

There were a few of the Plagas zombies with rocket launchers in RE4, and one sub-boss with a minigun.

So... zombies with assault rifles, eh? I guess that's a natural evolution of the dirt-biking zombies we saw in RE5. I bet the zombies will be Russian in the next game and trying to destroy modern democratic nations.

I don't know what to think of RE6.

I have, however, just played the RE:Revelations demo recently released on the eShop. I'm happy to report that it's way more survival-horror-y than RE5, and noticeably more-so than even RE4 (which seems to have been, up until now, the ideal balance between the two play-styles). There's scarce ammo and health, tense/thick atmosphere and ambiance, a bigger emphasis on surviving/figuring things out rather than making everything go boom, etc. and some musical/thematic throwbacks to RE1/RE2.

Scanning for scant hidden ammo/items or secrets/investigative information (a la Metroid Prime) is also a nice addition which makes perfect sense in the context of survival-horror. There's also a nice Alan Wake-eque dodge (unsure of how to use it reliably though) to get away from creeping enemies in tightly confined spaces.

Too bad it's only 3ds/Vita at this point, because I came away fairly impressed.

All action, no survival horror is what I get out of that trailer. What the fuck. I hate what this series has become since the fourth title.

Furthermore, Leon and Chris? Seriously?...

Yeah, the scary seems gone.

Wonder if it fits in any existing chronology or if it's a reimagining/reboot.


According to leaked documents, it's after 5, the last one. The story of 6 is thus:

*SPOILER ALERT FOR 5*





When Wesker is killed at the volcano the T-virus in his body is spread upwards into the atmosphere as his body burns and ends up infecting 90% of the world.

6 begins when the infection becomes widespread. A sort of Walking Dead scenario worldwide.

The trailer pretty much confirms most of the leaked doc details, most of them are seen in the trailer. Imagine RE2 but in the entire world and more open and you get 6.

The trailer and some brief reading implied that it was a single city with 90% infection and that it was a bio-terrorist attack. A volcano spreading the t virus and infecting 90% of the world? That sounds like trolling

Blame Capcom for trolling. Truth be told the Leon scenes seem to be in a different city than Chris.

Trailer has some juicy scenes, yet I wish they would try an approach with more suspense and less brute force.

Hardly the Dead Island trailer - nonsensical plot with more of the same gameplay now set in cities (and sewers) around the world.

Still I'll play it anyway - completed all the others so why not.
